Saquon Barkley reveals he reached out to Daniel Jones after Week 1 Giants disaster
NY Post
Saquon Barkley had some advice for Daniel Jones after his Week 1 disaster.
The former Giants running back told reporters Thursday that he extended some words of encouragement to his old quarterback after Big Blue’s 28-6 loss to the Vikings last weekend.
“I talked to him,” Barkley said. “I’m really good friends with DJ, obviously he didn’t have the game that he wants … I just let him know, just go out there and play free and do what you do best.”
Jones struggled during the blowout loss, going 22-for-42 with 186 passing yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions, including an ugly pick-six.
The crowd at MetLife Stadium rained boos on the $160 million quarterback — both during and after the game.
In the days after the game, Vikings outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard said he and his Minnesota teammates felt bad on behalf of Jones’ after the terrible showing.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
